Thanks again for showing us what we cant even enter.

Is that discrimination or just lazyness?

Erm, why post this on the UK site?

Also, why only 3GB DDR3 and not 6? You've gone 64bit, so make the most of it.
Only a 500GB HD, with only 16MB cache? If you're going WD you could've at least grabbed a Caviar Black edition.

It's okay guys, once they have hired a France-based UK writer (teehee), we can see an end to this.

No you won't because all articles are mirrored here. They aren't deliberately publishing them on the UK site.
